High sensitivity and good picture. The portable antenna is good enough to view channels even when placed indoor. The only cons is that you have to be in line with the stick for the remote to work correctly. Also had some trouble finding channels at first but when I re-installed the software it worked.

T202 accompanying disc : TOTALMEDIA software=further payment required!!!, so instead internet download the free app "SMARTDVB" for your machine. The IT9135 DRIVER. on T202 disc is OK. I use WIN XP - works great. Setting up/tuning the SMARTDVB requires patience. A better antenna is important - the small one supplied only works if you're close to a TV transmitter. SUMMARY=The USB plugin hardware itself works fine and is the right price, but download free software and get a good antenna.

The receiver works well as a receiver once set-up. Don't bother with the supplied software; it's very poor. The a more up-to-date driver is on the Internet. After much fiddling I found that SichboPVR is a good option for software. I didn't even try the aerial as I had a wall socket to the roof-top one. I have dumped the remote too. SichboPVR does not interpret the buttons correctly. In short, for Windows 10: Get the just the latest driver from the net, but ignore the software. Install driver and plug in. Install SichboPVR and it should find it an work.

The USB device does work. I can watch TV on my PC. However, the software install is very difficult. It is important to note that the driver and the TotalMedia software are installed separately. If the TotalMedia software cannot find the device driver or doesn't like its version then there is no error message - it just locks up in channel scan with no indication of where the problem is. If that happens you can't tell if the problem is the USB device, the TotalMedia software or the driver. I was forced to try another media application to test that the USB device and the driver. Finally after several hours, including reloading the driver and application from August's web site, managed to get the unit working. The remote is next to useless. On my computer the on/off button brings up the Intel Graphics config app! In conclusion, USB device ok. Software - poor. Aerial - useless unless the transmitter is in visual range. Remote - next to useless.Read full review

This product is compact, nice design and looked good. However whilst the software loads, it crashes when you attempt to tune in the Freeview channels. The supplied antenna is pretty useless, suction base with metal plate to connect to the magnetic base disappointing as suction fails and magnet pulls out the metal plate from the suction mount. Even with an amplifier and other antenna the software crashes. When you re-start it says multiple versions running when only one is running, so you have to power down and start again. The August support is good, and I went online to check on the chat service, which was helpful, but they didn't help me fix it. I updated the software to the latest version but no luck. Everything else works just fine, the cheap remote and all the software works through a Windows keyboard. However the supplied remote is very laggy, with slow response with the software. The media player and other functionality looks good also, with all the issues with the Freeview Tuner it seems. So unless there is a software fix, I've wasted money on a fairly useless device. Shame as it looked excellent when I bought it.Read full review
